Hindustan Zinc deploys 250 tonne electric crane

26 Jun 2026 CW Team

The deployment supports Hindustan Zinc’s wider green roadmap, which includes clean mobility and low-carbon equipment across its operations. Over the past three years, the company has introduced underground battery electric vehicles, electric and LNG-powered logistics fleets, electric bulkers, electric buses for employee transit and electric loaders at Rampura Agucha Mine.

The crane is expected to reduce on-site emissions by replacing a diesel-operated crane that consumed around 93,600 litres of diesel annually. Hindustan Zinc said the deployment could avoid approximately 250.8 tCO2e emissions each year while improving energy efficiency and demonstrating the scalability of hybrid technologies in hard-to-abate industrial sectors.

SANY India partnered with Hindustan Zinc for the deployment of the diesel-electric hybrid all-terrain crane. The solution is designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce emissions and support more responsible industrial operations.

Hindustan Zinc earlier became the first company in India to deploy underground battery electric vehicles at Sindesar Khurd Mine. The company has also expanded its logistics transition with over 250 LNG trucks transporting concentrate between mining sites and smelters, making it Rajasthan’s largest LNG fleet operator in industrial logistics.

The company’s decarbonisation roadmap targets net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. It has increased renewables to nearly 18 per cent of its power mix, commissioned over 530 MW of round-the-clock renewable energy capacity and aims to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50 per cent and Scope 3 emissions by 25 per cent from the 2020 baseline.

Hindustan Zinc has also launched EcoZen, Asia’s first low-carbon zinc brand, produced using renewable power. The company said these initiatives support its broader focus on clean energy, responsible production and sustainable industrial innovation.

Hindustan Zinc has deployed India’s first 250 tonne capacity electric crane at Zinc Smelter Debari in Rajasthan. The hybrid lifting machine can operate on both diesel and electric power and marks a step in the company’s effort to decarbonise core operations and adopt clean technologies across industrial infrastructure.The deployment supports Hindustan Zinc’s wider green roadmap, which includes clean mobility and low-carbon equipment across its operations.
